HORSESHOE-HAMMER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 443,377, dated. December 23, 1890.

Application filed May 24, 1890. Serial No. 353,037. (No mc'lel.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, GEORGE T. PETERS, of Butte City, in the county of Silver Bow and State of Montana, have invented a new and Improved I-Iorseshoe-1*Iammer, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

The object of the invention is to provide a new and improved hammer specially designed forquickly and conveniently sharpening calks and toes for horseshoes, and adapted to be used from either side of the anvil.

The invention consists of certain parts and details and combinations of the same, as will be hereinafter fully described, and then pointed out in the claims.

Referenceis to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming apart of this specification, in which Figure 1 is a perspective view of the improvement, and Fig. 2 is an enlarged profile view of the improvement.

The improved horseshoe-hammer A is provided with a head B, secured on one end of the handle 0 in the usual manner. The head 13 is provided with one straight face D, and with a face E, having two sides extending at an obtuse angle and each provided with a roughened surface F, as plainly shown in the drawings. The roughened surface is either made by corrugations or by chiseling, similar to forming the teeth of files, &c. The apex of the face E is preferably slightly broadened. as shown in the drawings, and left blank.

hen the hammer is .used, either of the roughened surfaces F on the faceE is brought down onto the calk or toe of the horseshoe, so as to sharpen the same. As the two surfaces F diverge from each other at an obtuse angle, they permit of using the hammer from either side of the anvil.

It will further be seen that with this hammer a square blow can be struck on the calk or toe from either side of the anvil without the operator changing his position. The bevel on the hammer fits the usual bevel of a sharpened calk.

Having thus fully described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- 1. A hammer having a face provided with two sides extending at an obtuse angle and both having a roughened surface, substantially as shown and described.

2. A hammer having a face provided with two sides extending at an obtuse angle and both having a roughened surface,the apex of the said face being flattened and left blank, substantially as shown and described.

GEORGE T. PETERS.
